Chapter 1137: Advanced Secret Realm
Chapter 1137: Advanced Secret Realm
"Wait a minute, Instructor," Su Yu raised a concern. "Tina's anger is almost depleted, and she's also quite injured. Is it really a good idea for her to participate in the trial in this state?"
Tina, however, struggled to her feet. "I'm fine. I can do this."
The divine bloodline within her began to activate, and a golden aura once again radiated from her body. In just two breaths, her anger, which had been nearly depleted, recovered to 50%.
Su Yu and Margaret: "..."
What an insane recovery ability!
Margaret couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her brow. She had initially wanted to make things difficult for Tina, but now...
Forget it! Where did this monster come from?
Margaret pushed herself up from the ground and staggered toward the eastern entrance of the trial arena, which led to an underground passage.
"Since you're fine, follow me! I hope you can gain a lot from this."
"Thank you, Instructor!"
Tina's recovery was astonishing. Not only had her anger recovered to nearly half, but her wounds had also mostly healed.
She and Su Yu followed Margaret toward the passage, leaving their unicorns outside.
The passage led to a spiral wooden staircase that descended into darkness. The bottom of the stairs was pitch black, with no light at all, making it look quite daunting.
Tina, though a third-rank powerhouse and a divine-blooded prodigy, still felt a bit nervous in the darkness.
By the time they reached the first underground level, she had slowed her pace, cautiously feeling her way forward.
Su Yu noticed Tina's unease and walked to the front, taking her hand. "Tina, let me guide you."
"Okay," Tina replied, feeling the warmth of Su Yu's hand, her cheeks flushing slightly.
For a moment, she was transported back to Noland Village, where Su Yu had held her hand while they went to demand payment from Baron Wilson.
A warm feeling welled up inside her.
Ding, [Tina Garcia]’s affection for you has increased by 1.
In the vast underground space of the fourth level of the trial arena, Margaret took out a key and flipped a switch on the wall.
Buzz.
The walls to the left, right, and front lit up with white, green, and blue light, respectively, and three portals opened in sequence.
Margaret explained, "I won't bore you with the history of the secret realms. The white portal leads to the Primary secret realm, the green to the Intermediate, and the blue to the Advanced."
"Tina, with your strength, you should easily pass the Primary secret realm. The Intermediate might be a bit challenging, but if you're confident, you can give it a try."
"Thank you, Instructor. I understand."
Tina nodded and then looked at Su Yu. "Counter, you choose. I trust your decision."
"Do you really trust me, with no regrets?" Su Yu smiled.
"Of course not," Tina said, her eyes twinkling with a smile.
"Alright then."
Su Yu took Tina's hand and walked toward the green portal. But just one meter away, he suddenly turned 90 degrees, wrapped his arm around Tina's waist, and they both jumped into the blue portal.
"Wait, this is not good!"
Margaret had been very impressed when she saw Su Yu leading Tina toward the green portal.
"This kid has some insight, but it's a shame he's not a Druid and can't turn into a bear."
But when she saw Su Yu suddenly turn and jump into the blue portal with Tina, Margaret was taken aback.
"Damn it, what is this kid doing?!"
"How did he enter the Advanced secret realm?!"
"With Tina's current strength, she might die in there!"
"If Tina dies, I won't get my annual salary!"
"Damn this kid, I'm going to tear you apart!"
"I should have used my anger to shut down that portal earlier."
Instructor Margaret was filled with regret, stomping her feet on the spot.
After a long while, she turned her gaze away from the portal and sighed, "I should hurry and find the Legion Commander. Tina, you'd better not die in there!"
Su Yu opened his eyes again, and he and Tina were now standing in a dark purple space.
Beneath their feet lay an unknown dark purple soil, and around them stretched a desolate wasteland. Above, the dark purple night sky was dotted with giant stars that emitted a dark purple glow.
"Damn! It's the Void!" Su Yu was taken aback.
He was very familiar with this environment.
In his previous life, when he died, the game was in its seventh expansion, "Void Invasion." He knew these dark purple realms all too well.
"What's the Void?" Tina's head was adorned with a cute question mark.
Before Su Yu could explain, two monsters emerged from the shadows on either side and lunged at them.
Void Crawler (Level 50)
Health: ???
Magic Power: ???
Abilities: [Dark Energy Surge], [Void Crawl], [Void Stone (Passive)]
Description: Learn to walk the Void, or crawl first!
Void Wave Elemental (Level 50)
Health: ???
Attack Power: ???
Abilities: [Void Wave], [Void Bind], [Elemental Enhancement (Passive)]
Description: Rise up, buddy!
Due to the massive level gap, Su Yu couldn't see their specific attributes.
But Tina quickly stepped in front of him. "Kesheng, I'll protect you!"
Tina put away her lance and drew a pale golden longsword.
Then she leaped high into the air, her aura bursting out like a golden sun, blinding to look at.
"Hey!"
With a powerful downward slash, the pale golden sword cleaved the [Void Crawler] in two!
Crack!
The once-threatening Void creature was split in half by a single blow!
The [Void Wave Elemental] was taken aback by the death of its companion.
But it quickly recovered and cast [Void Bind].
A pale purple ring appeared above Tina's head and descended rapidly. Caught off guard, Tina was trapped and immobilized.
[Void Wave Elemental]: "@$%^&."
It spoke in a language Tina didn't understand, but it was clear it was saying, "You killed my companion, I'll kill yours!"
Su Yu, however, understood the Void language and smiled. "%￥&^$."
The [Void Wave Elemental]: "!!!"
Why could this human speak Void Common?
Taking advantage of its momentary confusion, Su Yu used [Blink] to move away and appeared beside Tina.
"Tina, it's yours." Su Yu handed her the [Advanced Scholar's Badge].
"Sure, leave it to me!" Tina used the badge to quickly dispel the binding spell.
"Charge!"
"Blazing—Flame—Slash!"
Golden fury burned like a raging fire.
Tina charged forward and sliced the [Void Wave Elemental] in half, turning it into two pools of black, oily liquid.
"Great job, Tina!" Su Yu gave her a thumbs-up.
No wonder Tina was so formidable, even in the Void!
But he didn't want to keep relying on her protection. "Tina, do you have something that could—"
"Of course," Tina guessed what Su Yu was about to ask and tossed him a pale golden buff.
Tina Garcia's Blessing: Your level is now equal to [Tina Garcia]'s, lasting for one hour.
"Typical Tina, always so understanding," Su Yu nodded to himself as he checked the buff in his status bar.
